Something Old, Something New


 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at  Pearly Sparkles. Larelyn has chosen for the theme, #118 Something old, Something New. To see the team's inpirational designs, please visit the blog. 

For my card. I began with a 6" sq white scallop edge card. I added a lilac background mat. An inner smaller purple mat on a gold Mirri mat. The laurel leaf die cut is an old one in my stash, the leaves, flowers, the additional design papers, sentiments are all new items. The female is a Match -It die cut, also new. All the new stock is a Match It kit from Electric Ink Designs.A few purple jewels finally added. 


Christmas Gnomes


 Hello, thanks for your visit. Today we begin our new challenge for Sparkles Christmas Challenges. A monthly challenge beginning April 1st. Melanie has chosen #183 Eleves or Gnomes. To see the inspiration for othe team members please visit the blog. 

For my card, I began with a white 5 x 7 in, card. A gold mat, with a stroped background paper from my stash. The topper is constructed using decoupage with three pages/layers from a Hunkydory Little Book - A Cherished Christmas.The greeting is a die cut, from an old die in my stash. I do enjoy fussy cutting and creating a layered card. I hope you enjoy the challenge, I'm sure you'll fnd in your stash, either an elf or a gnome.
